Cases of beer were toppled at DeCicco Food Market in Pelham when a car barreled through the glass storefront at the corner of Fifth Avenue and Second Street on Thursday afternoon. No one was injured in the crash, which occurred around 4:30 p.m.

"The noise was almost deafening," said Chris Dapolito, the store manager. "It was ridiculously loud. The whole building shook."

Staff and customers ran over to the scene to assist, he said.

"People were very helpful," he said.

The driver, an 83-year-old New Rochelle resident, was backing out of a parking spot on Second Street when he accidentally accelerated and looped around into the storefront on Fifth Avenue, Pelham police Det. John Hynes said.

The driver was evaluated at the scene but was not injured, according to a Facebook post by the Pelham Professional Firefighters Local 2213. The union said firefighters made sure the building was stable and utilities were secure.

Dapolito said the store remained open, with the damaged section of the business roped off and the exterior boarded up within two hours.
